Some photos of finished interior, Those are mid back seats that I disassembled the lower part of the seat and was able to drop the seat another 2 1/2", with air I have about 3 1/2" head room and
I'm 6' 2" tall or I was before back surgery. And some photos from the side so everyone can get an idea how long a 6' hood on a B model would look like.

Fenders should be completed Friday or Monday. Then he has to repair some slight accidental damage that happened to the drip rails above the doors, happened when moved to the other shop
in January. Friends were going to surprise me by setting the cab on and well the rails got bent, couldn't get upset at them they were just trying to help-mistakes happen. but Jose can repair them.
That's why I haven't installed the mirror brackets/mirrors. Installed the Luber Finer behind the cab between stack and tank-mounted to frame. So the Drivers side will be blank and only one air
cleaner on the right side. I didn't like the weight of the luber finer hanging on the fender extension. You can see the bent drip rails below.

Here's an 86 that I had . First and last new truck I had the misfortune of making payments on. This pic was taken just outside of Kent by the Boeing plant.


With an E9 @ 500hp, Mack 12 sp, camel back suspension on Mack bogies, 1200 rpm's got you 65 mph. But this E9 would run 2100 if I saw the need. I dont miss the payments but I sure miss the truck.984f2806.jpg

Always liked a Superliner. Never owned one, owned an R and a pile of CHs, and a bunch of various IHs, and 1 WhiteGMC, but no SuperDog.

Speaking of E9s, I was coming along in one of 2375s with an L10-300, on the governor at 72 mph. A Mack with wet logs piled above the bolsters pulled out in front of me from a dead stop. I decided since I already had my speed up, I'd pass instead of braking hard. I got up beside the tractor just enough to see E9-500 on the hood before he left!

Really like the last pictures in this post! The first pictures remind me on how big a job it was just to replace a window regulator and weather stripping. Rusted up parts and seized screws were normal 20 years ago. There is also a trick to work all that through the door. That is on of the least struggles you have had. Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Those regulators are fairly easy really, main thing is use a bunch of duct tape around the opening in the door to keep from beating it all to hell.

Thanks
